“Sylvia is a great communicator and very caring to my dog. She made sure he got his water, wore his cooling vest, shoes and stayed safe during the most intense heat wave. She eased my worries, I highly recommend Sylvia!”


“Minju is an excellent dog walker. My Gabriel gets so excited as it nears the time for her to pick him up! He comes back rejuvenated and lots of energy. She does an excellent job for Gabe and myself no worries!”


“Melanie is organized, reliable and professional--she treats pet care as a business, because it is her business. But she merges that professional approach with a genuine love for animals, friendly customer service, and considerable experience and deep knowledge of dog care. She was able to help out last-minute with three walks during a family emergency, and I never once had to worry about how my dogs were doing. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”


About: For the past 4 years, I have volunteered at an animal shelter where I worked with both dogs and cats. With dogs, I have experience with all ages, ranging from 5 week old puppies to senior dogs. I have walked and played with dogs who were the most outgoing and loving dogs, as well as the more fearful ones who needed a little extra attention before opening up to me. I have received training in understanding dog behaviors as well as how to interact with more stressed and fearful dogs, leaving me confident to care for all types of dogs. I also volunteered to take some dogs out of the shelter for one night and care for them at my apartment so they can destress out of their kennels, which gave me experience house sitting multiple types of dogs. With cats, often times at the shelter I would play with them in their cages, or I would take them out the cage and hold onto/pet them to help relieve their stress and get them accustomed to humans. At home I also have 2 senior pets I care for, a 12 year old Brittany dog and an 11 year old cat. They’re both incredibly sweet and remind me every day why I love caring for animals. Let me help take care of your furry family members—I’d love to meet them! I work as a teacher full time during the school year, so I have time after 4pm to care for your pets. However, during the summer I don't work full time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am free anytime during the week for house sitting, dog walking, or just dropping in to visit your pet. When caring for a pet in a client's home, I will make sure to confirm all household rules that apply to their pet before starting. This includes knowing what furniture the pet can sit on, the diet of the pet, as well as how often the pet should be played with/taken out on walks.

“Recently used Analucia’s dog walking services and we were very satisfied. Analucia was very accommodating and responsive from the start. We arranged a meet and greet and I knew we were in good hands. She was helpful in quickly making adjustments to our original request. Our pup got the walks she needed and we were provided with pics and videos. 5 star experience and we look forward to using her service again.”

“Janet is amazing with my dog Luke. He enjoys his time with her. She takes Luke on nice long walks which he can’t get enough of. He comes home super happy and ready for a nap. I highly recommend her”


“Alexandria was an absolute gem! She saved us when another walker had to cancel last minute, and was so amazing with our Dolly girl. She was super attentive, and gave Dolly an amazing walk! She gave me so much peace of mind while I’m across the country and my boyfriend was at work for the day. We will absolutely be using her again when we need some help with Dolly. ❤️”


About: I have been taking care of my own dogs for over 20 years. In the last 5 years I have decided to walk and care for other doggies. I love animals and enjoy watching them smell everything on our walks. Each animal is different and unique. I am available at any time as I work from home. Walking dogs will fit my schedule as I am available at times most pet owners at work. Since I am only looking to walk dogs I can only rely on the owners instructions on their pets preference. I will walk dogs as their own pace and making sure their safety comes first

About: Hello me and my mom both wfh and love animals but don’t have any animals of our own so I convinced my mom it would be a fun way to learn about different breeds of dogs and cats! We have been doing petsitting for over 3 years now and love having a cute furry coworker by our side while we work. I have experience working with puppies and senior dogs with health issues. Along with kittens and senior cats. Both me and my mom work from home so our schedule is usually flexible and there will always be one person at home with a pet! I live in an area with little to no traffic. I have an empty guest room where I can allow your pet to roam around. Additional complimentary red light therapy sessions available to help soothe and support your pet’s healing and wellness during their stay.

“Catalina is so excellent and took such great care of our Kevin! Our senior frenchie needed to be let out to go potty in the middle of a longer day alone. He usually only goes outside for a few moments to eliminate and rushes to go back inside, but Catalina made sure he had a little midday adventure! So much more than we expected and it was so comforting to know our little guy had a bit of fun! She arrived right on time and sent many pictures and updates! So cute! Thank you, Catalina!!!”



“Yasmeen did a great job walking our two pitties. She arrived on time and followed all of our instructions perfectly. We appreciate that she asked great questions at the meet and greet. Yasmeen has great availability and we would trust her with our babies any day. Thanks so much!”


About: As a vegan, I care deeply for all animals. I’ve grown up around cats and dogs, have volunteered at sanctuaries, and have a sweet cat named Corny. I have many friends with dogs of all sizes and love them all as my own! I’m currently looking for part time/night time/weekend shifts, but am very open to discuss weekday availability. I nanny my niece 3 days during the week, but am free early morning and evenings/nights any day of the week. I give a lot of attention to pets when I visit their home. I recognize it’s their safe space, allowing them plenty of time to get used to my scent and presence, play with toys, and give lots of treats (if and when allowed). I’m also very comfortable with elder or more independent pets who may not be as cuddly or active.

About: I have experience with crated and uncrated pups, as well as taking care of senior dogs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and open to discussing any special individual needs for your pet. I have a very flexible schedule so I'm available to all of your pet's needs. I update my availability on Rover frequently so rest assured that my calendar is accurate. I live in a walkable neighborhood that is pet friendly and in a spacious apartment ideal for small/medium dogs. I have space for a crate if needed. And a large bathtub/removable shower head for emergency baths.

About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life, of all sizes, breeds, and backgrounds. Big dogs, small dogs, rescue dogs, therapy dogs, etc. I am a true believer that all pets just need love. I do have experience with bully breeds as well, and have had several rescue pitties. I will love your dog like my very own, including cuddles, treats, fetch, and belly rubs! I am more than happy to take care of cats as well. Feeding, litterbox, general attention, etc, and can take care of other household tasks while you are away (retrieving mail, watering plants, etc). I work part time and freelance jobs so my schedule is quite flexible. I will always put your pet’s needs first when scheduling and planning. The safety of your babies is my number one priority. Dogs are always leashed outside, and I am mindful of keeping doors closed and animals away from anything they shouldn’t eat or touch.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with two amazing dogs of my own—Ace, a playful and super-friendly pup, and a sweet little Shihpoo who loves to be around her mama. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family, and I’m here to give your pets the same love, care, and attention I give my own. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I create a calm, cozy, and safe environment where pets feel right at home. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for play, rest, and belly rubs. I’m also experienced with different dog sizes and temperaments, so your pet will be in good hands—whether they’re high-energy or just love to lounge. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priority, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages every step of the way! I am currently a stay at home wife. I am pretty much just home playing and caring for my own dogs. Not working at the moment. Although I do not have a yard. There are many parks near by where I can take your furry friend. Also I have a spare room that will make them feel like home. I have one dog of my own to keep your furry friend company.

“My girls (?) felt at easy when around Ayah which give me a peace of mind. Her welcoming demeanor made the whole meet and greet experience pleasant for a dad that never had a stranger walk his girls (?) before. She did not shy away from walking my 90lb Rottweiler or my 75lb Pit. Thank you.”

Mahalia L.
“Mahalia has been an excellent caregiver for our 6 year old pomsky Remi for the past two years. We have nicknamed her the dog whisperer! She is a compassionate and warm person that has given our fur baby a safe space. She is knowledgeable and educated about dogs. She has always thoroughly communicated during his boarding stays about potential behavior or health challenges. When I pick him up, she gives a full report and plenty of adorable photos. She is playful, responsive, and responsible. Remi is always so excited to see her and to stay at her home. Pomskys are an energetic bunch but she manages to tire him out with all of their fun activities. Her home is a warm and inviting space for a dog and she is surrounded by ample green space. We are so lucky to have her in our lives. I always have peace of mind when he is in her care.”

Jamie A.
“I have nothing but good things to say about the way Jamie took care of my two pitbulls. She was very trustworthy. I gave her the keys of my house and asked her to come a few hours everyday for a few months. I know that pitbulls can be impressive, but she handled them perfectly feeding them, walking them and playing with them. Jamie has been the best pet sitter I've ever had!”


Melissa D.
“I can’t thank Melissa enough. I had no one to watch my 1 year old poodle and when I reached out to her she was more than willing to watch her for me. She watch my dog for 4 days and she was just so amazing with her with her. She kept me updated with everything during my dogs stay and for that I will continue to support her.”
